NEW MILFORD -- The New Milford High boys golf team scored a rare win over perennial South-West Conference powerhouse Weston on Wednesaday at Candlewood Valley Country Club.

The match was tied at 168 through the top four players, but New Milford won the fifth-player tie-breaker by two strokes to win the match. Earlier in the season, the two teams played to a tie after even their fifth players were tied.

"I can't remember ever beating Weston, so to beat them and tie them in the same season is nice," said New Milford coach Jim Mullin, who has been at the helm for 10 seasons.

New Milford's Cole Case and Weston's Asher Greenberg earned co-medalist honors after shooting 39s on the par-36 course. Also for New Milford, Kyle Poeti and Steven Santos shot 42s, John Pace carded a 43 and Sandro Leite and Tim Mondonedo fired 44s.

Highlights: B--Rachel Barton had two hits. M--Buckley struck out 11 and had three hits, including two doubles. Melissa Peet had two hits, including a double. Brittany Damota had two hits, including a double. Lauren Middlemass had two doubles. Steph Appelberg had a homer.
